BBC NEWS CUTS

Cuts reactivated - P43 onwards

^ Aptly, just watched an episode of classic Corrie where one character (Tricia Armstrong/Tracy Brabin MP) has just been jailed for seven days for failure to pay the fine associated with an earlier failure to have a TV Licence.

This, of course, has nothing to do with the cost cutting at BBC News.

Moving on.....

I think it's because Focus on Africa is genuinely a bit more than just BBC News with different music, a bit of colour and more standing up.

It's because Focus on Africa (and Outside Source) are sold to other broadcasters. So BBC World has a contractual obligation to still make those programmes.

cmthwtv - your post above is quite possibly the best I've ever seen on TVF.

Regardless of whether they are sold to to other broadcasters, Outside Source at the moment and for the foreseeable future is just a generic BBC World News bulletin with Ross dressed casually and different titles. Seems a b it ridiculous.

Indeed, have these other broadcasters just paid for a title rather than the content

It’s like as if they axed Newsnight, and just simulcast the news channel for an hour, and still called it Newsnight!

Who are all these other broadcasters paying for Outside Source? Only one I can see is PBS in America.

Mr Capita hasn't been knocking on doors since March and has even stopped writing to people at addresses without licences since the start of the Covid outbreak.



We've just spent a year refurbishing a house, while living in rented accommodation (the last 4 months were a laugh). From two weeks after moving out letters started arriving, getting more and more threatening. I just ignored them. No idea if Mr Capita actually turned up to inspect or not, but the letters simply stopped around Christmas time (which was when the place had no roof on it !).

Outside Source shouldn’t exist now all that finger touching on screen it should be axed.

Touchscreens are fine if sanitised between users...
